Yearly sister trip

We had a great stay at the alpaca farm retreat. It felt like a home away from home. The host Paul was available for questions and gave us a great tour of the farm. The area was a great location between lots of places to eat and explore. Feeding and seeing the alpacas were the highlight! Highly recommend!

Delightful Place

The house was fully equipped with everything you’d need. It is in a beautiful location, flowers, privacy, and hospitality. It was very interesting to learn about and interact and feed the Alpacas. I had a comfortable, peaceful, relaxing stay, and look forward to another visit.

Loved this clean, quiet property with welcoming hosts who provided lots of special touches (fresh flowers, muffins, coffee, snacks, AC, plush towels and more!) Interaction and education about the alpacas on site was also very special. Directions and instructions were very clear. Farmland community was very beautiful. Hosts are friendly and accessible.

lots of dust under the chairs and table on the first floor, it was a nice place to stay and very quiet, they just need to clean all the dust under the charis and in the windows upstairs in the bedroom, otherwise, I would have given this place 5 stars.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Deborah Nelson

Host profile image
We love the Willamette Valley and settled here about 5 years ago. We bought our first Alpacas in August of 2017 (5) and now we have a herd of 18 and growing. We live on the property, but interact with you as much or as little as you would like. We had a guest that stayed a week and it was a spiritual retreat and we only communicated via notes and let her totally rejuvenate on the property.

Why they chose this property

Our property is quiet with beautiful sunsets you can enjoy from the hammock swings in the Big Oak tree in the front of the unit or on the covered front porch. It is far enough away to relax in the country but you can easily (35 minute drive) get to rivers, hiking, wineries, antique shops and lovely small towns to shop and explore.

What makes this property unique

We have a lovely store on the property, and we sell Alpaca socks, hats, scarves, yarn and other fun alpaca related gifts or souvenirs. We will take you to the Barns and tell you all about Alpacas, with plenty of time for pictures and hand feeding the animals. We will light fire in the fire pit and even provide the makings for smores for a nice romantic evening. We provide, muffins, Coffee, cream, sugar, Oatmeal, Popcorn and snacks to enjoy in the unit.
